As the commander of the Eighth Route Army, he is the best at military research and development. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoHe Zhengdao has been able to concurrently serve as the director of the arsenal, which has a lot to do with his familiarity with the research of military weapons.

Compared with other generals of the Eighth Route Army, they may be good at commanding troops. However, in terms of military research and development, I am afraid that the whole army will not be able to find a commander who can be compared with He Zhengdao.

It is this difference that makes many people who originally wanted to seize power from He Zhengdao finally have to give up this plan. To put it mildly, the experts in the military R&D department only recognize He Zhengdao alone.

In fact, those experts in the military R&D department have repeatedly suggested to the Central Committee and the Eighth Route Army Headquarters that He Zhengdao should not be allowed to be a commander, and that it is only by staying directly in the R&D department of the military factory to conduct research that they can make the best use of it.

As for the suggestions of these military experts, many leaders of the Central Committee have not failed to consider them. But for He Zhengdao, he knows his own family affairs. The so-called good is more just to give advice to these experts.

But in fact, he can only give some suggestions to those experts who have been invited from all over the world. Occasionally, when he had free time, he would draw some drawings of weapons and tell the experts what he knew.

The weapon drawings provided by Ho Zhengdao, as well as the research direction and specific parameters given. But when it comes to other aspects of research such as financial materials, He Zhengdao is actually not good at it. So, it was impossible for him to stay in the military factory all day.

In order to convince those experts, He Zhengdao also gave a very suitable reason. That is, any kind of weapon is used on the battlefield after all. If you don't know whether the weapon is suitable for the battlefield, the weapon development will be of little use.

If he can stay on the front line all the time and pull the weapons developed by the arsenal to the battlefield in advance for actual combat testing. Then any weapon that is successfully developed can also be finally developed and produced as a finalized one.

At present, the rocket artillery vehicle that is pulled to cooperate with the attack of a column is also the latest rocket artillery developed by the arsenal. Although this rocket launcher is a junior model, He Zhengdao knows that the performance of this rocket launcher has reached the world's leading level.

Although rocket artillery has been developed by the Soviet Union, it has not been installed in the troops, and it is also in the experimental stage. But He Zhengdao knows very well that the performance of this rocket launcher developed by the arsenal is no worse than that of the Soviet Union.

It can be said that if it were not for the need to test the effect of rocket artillery in actual combat, it is believed that this rocket artillery has already been installed in the troops. And He Zhengdao's name for this rocket launcher is to call it the Chinese 'sharp arrow' rocket launcher.

When the officers and men of the frontline troops were all looking up at the heavenly flames coming from the direction of the rocket launch, He Zhengdao also stood outside the headquarters and watched this scene. He was also very happy with the excitement of the people around him.

Although the current first rocket launcher is not as good as those top rocket launchers in later generations in China. However, for the entire Eighth Route Army, there is undoubtedly another weapon for national defense, and it is believed that rocket artillery with better performance will be developed over time.

'Commander, what kind of new weapon is this, and why is it so powerful?' ’

Wang Tianlin, who stayed with He Zhengdao, only knew that a secret army had come from Yulin. It's just that what this army is for, they don't really know.

In order to ensure the secrecy of the Sharp Arrow Brigade, the officers and men of the first batch of Sharp Arrow Brigade were all transferred from the special division. Even if they came to the front line to help with the experimental artillery, He Zhengdao still sent a special battalion to be responsible for security vigilance.

No unit is to be allowed to approach unless there is a certificate from the commander of the army. It is this kind of secrecy system that makes many people not know what the origin of the Sharp Arrow Brigade is.

Although some people think that the cars driven by the Arrow Brigade are a bit strange, the launchers were covered before the rocket artillery vehicles were installed. No one knows what it is unless you look closely.

But for Wang Tianlin, who is the commander of a column, he knows very well that the troops that made such a big move are the kind of low-key but mysterious sharp arrow troops. As soon as this unit made a move, the movement was really different!

He Zhengdao had been with He Zhengdao for a long time before, and Wang Tianlin naturally knew what new weapons the arsenal had, and most of them were for He Zhengdao to conduct actual combat tests first. And such a powerful weapon, Wang Tianlin also felt it for the first time.

Facing everyone's curious eyes, He Zhengdao said with a smile: "This is the latest artillery developed by the arsenal, and the effect of artillery may be worse than that of artillery of the same caliber." But this weapon has the advantage of being very fast.

As you saw earlier, this was the effect of an artillery strike by the Arrow Brigade. It can hit the shelling effect of a heavy artillery regiment or heavy artillery division in a short period of time. And it's also very quick and easy to transfer.

If this weapon works well in actual combat, it will be installed in our rapid reaction force in the future. Of course, in the future, after this weapon is really finalized, I believe that the artillery brigade directly under each column will have the opportunity to be equipped. ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, Wang Tianlin also said happily: "Commander, if you want to equip the troops, then our column should be the first, right?" ”

'What? You are the commander of a column, and everything good will be thrown at you! The specific distribution is subject to the approval of headquarters. If you want to equip this weapon, I'm afraid you'll all have to wait a while. ’

After scolding Wang Tianlin with a smile, he also knew that this kind of powerful weapon was something that any commander did not want to miss. However, when there are many people and few porridges, He Zhengdao can only give priority to equipping the troops that need it.

Compared with the Eighth Route Army, the Eighth Division of the Japanese Army, which was responsible for defense, seemed a little unable to laugh. Looking at the artillery unit shrouded in a sea of fire, everyone knew that the artillery unit was afraid of being finished.

Withstanding such heavy and concentrated artillery fire, as long as the artillery units staying in it, there was basically nowhere to hide. This also meant that as soon as the battle began, the artillery strength of the 8th Division was severely damaged.

Without artillery support from artillery units, how long could they hold out in the face of the fierce attack of the Eighth Route Army?

Listening to the report from the front, the commander of the 8th Division of the Japanese Army, Tsukada Tsukasaki, said with a look of disbelief: "What about it? The Eighth Route Army used hundreds of heavy artillery to counterattack at one time, how is this possible? ”

'General, according to the information coming from the forward observation post, this is indeed the case. After our artillery units began to counterattack, it was not long before the artillery fire of the Eighth Route Army began to counterattack, and hundreds of heavy artillery pieces were used at one time.

Because the forward observation posts did not dare to get too close, but judging from the frequency of the enemy's heavy artillery, it was at least a salvo effect that could be formed by hundreds of heavy artillery. Our artillery units are only afraid of heavy losses! ’

For such a positive answer, Tsukada still said in disbelief: "How is this possible? According to the information we have received, the Eighth Route on the opposite side, although equipped with heavy artillery units, is not large.

Most of their heavy artillery was formed by capturing our heavy artillery. In order to use these heavy guns, they also need to capture shells of the same model. In this case, they are afraid that the number of times they can use it is not much.

Now you tell me how is it possible that they used hundreds of heavy artillery pieces at once? Looking at the current Huaxia troops, even the best equipped Southern Army is afraid that it can't be equipped with such a large number of heavy artillery, right? ”

The Southern Army that Tsukada mentioned actually refers to the Nationalist Army commanded by Lao Chiang. In the eyes of the Japanese army, most of the weapons and equipment used by the Eighth Route Army were obtained through seizure. This heavy artillery is also the trophy of the former Eighth Route Army.

At this time, the chief of staff of the Eighth Division suddenly said: "General, I think the words of the front-line observation post should be true. We have been in contact with the artillery unit just now, but their contact has been interrupted.

This means that the artillery units deployed on the front line are afraid that the situation is really bad. As for where these heavy artillery came from, I think that in addition to capturing them, they can also get foreign aid.

At present, the Eighth Route occupies the area of Suiyuan and Xilin Dunle Alliance, and our main force is engaged in a fierce battle with the Soviet Union there. If they provide these weapons to the Eighth Route with the purpose of pinning down our troops, this is also possible! ”

Listening to the words of the chief of staff, Tsukada still shook his head and said: "Although the weapons and equipment of the Soviet Far East Army are not inferior to ours, how can they provide them with such a huge number of heavy artillery at this time?"

This information was quickly transmitted to the Special High Division, so that they must find out the armament situation of the Eighth Route as soon as possible. These damn informants, every time they give us information, it is too different from the actual situation. ”

As the commander of the division, Tsukada was very angry that the actual situation he learned during this period often did not match the information provided before the special high school. In his opinion, it was this kind of misinformation that caused him to suffer a lot.

The defensive units now deployed on the front line are withstanding the onslaught of the Eighth Front. And before the Eighth Route launched an attack, the special high class did not provide any information. In Tsukada's view, this is a completely intolerable mistake.

Even if I hate the special high class very much in my heart, I can't provide them with detailed information and information about their opponents like before. But in the face of the unfavorable situation at the moment, Tsukada could only send the reserve troops to the front line in advance.

In any case, the Chaoyang line, which is currently defended by their divisions, must not allow the Eighth Route Army to break through. Once the Eighth Route Army breaks through their defensive line, it won't be long before the main forces of the Eighth Route will be able to advance to the Mukden border.

In this way, the threat of the Eighth Route Army to the Kwantung Army will also increase several times compared with now. Even if Chaoyang is lost, Jinxi, which is still struggling to support at the moment, will also face a collapse.

Thinking of this consequence, even if Tsukada was anxious, he still had to choose to go all out. After all, they were the main divisions of the Kwantung Army, and it was impossible to admit defeat so easily. No matter what, you have to have a good life with the Eighth Route Army for a few tricks!
